I make it of two laths with three blocks between-them, one at each end and one in the center. When these laths are nailed together at the ends and in the cenis a perspective view of the stick or hanger,

showing how the leaves are held.

ranged parallel to each other, having between I them at their endsand midway of their length spacing-blocks B, whereby the spaces are formed, the parts being secured together by suitable devices,vas set forth.
